I had a shiny new player tonight :D I had talked to him about joining, but I hadn't heard from him. We had discussed a couple of possibilities for him to play, and he showed up on Ian's doorstep with character in hand, ready to go :D I was even able to introduce him not too long into the session, and he seems to have hit it off relatively well with the party. And he is a mage, too, whee!

The entire party managed to avoid getting into a fight too, and I'm glad. It was one of those things that I had meant to have happen, because it was a logical outcome of some things that had happened, but still could have gone quite badly. But it didn't. yay! I think it was a pretty good session. And next week, they are finally going to encounter/fight the settites (You know, Coraline, Ewan and their, um, fire boy ^-^ Can't say too much, Ian reads this ;)Should be... interesting. I'm going to need to make stats for them, though. Mwahahahahaha!

I had a weird dream over the weekend too, which I keep forgetting to transcribe here. I only remember a little bit of it. It was actually quite long, but hey, it was also 4 nights ago now.

I dreamed I was sleeping in a tent... the very tent that I had borrowed from Mary, in fact, only the inside of it was also something like the inside of a military camp mess-tent (It was two sizes at once, if that makes any sense.) Instead of my sleeping bag, I was sleeping in the ancient, hamster-mangled, pink quilt-inside-a-quilt that I got from my grandmother years ago. I was sleeping right beside one of those fold out plywood tables, and on it was a cardboard box with a spout that held a bag of milk (The kind you get for cafeteria milk machines, or that the military might take out somewhere, hmmmm). Anyway, someone had slashed the box with a knife, and the milk kept pouring out of the box onto the floor, and there was nowhere for me to sleep but in the pool of it, while a few feet away I could see people's feet as they sat eating in the mess-hall part of the tent. I was very annoyed.

So, anyone wanna try interpreting *that*? ^-^

I have wisdom teeth still. My clever clever dentist thought that it would be wiser to pull some of my adult teeth while I was still young and my mouth not completely set to make room for wisdom teeth when they did come in. Right now, I hve a kind of dull ache in the back of my mouth on the lower right. They seem to grow out in short spurts. Both the bottom ones are actually already poking through the gums a little, and I think this one os trying to get a little further. Anyway, it is survivable, but annoying.

In other news... I just saw a really sickening banner add in hotmail, for one of those singles hotlines or chatrooms or something. It's got a pretty (vapid) smiling girl on it, and the tag line "I'm so glad I'm single!" and underneath that, two little unchecked boxes: 'Fun, Romance, Dating' and 'Thousands join every day'. The the little boxes get checked, and the tag line changes to '...Now I'm so popular!"

Urg, right. 'cause popularity based on how many internet geeks/freaks want to get into your pants is oh so desireable. Bleh!
